TIkkurilla is a Finnish company producing coatings and printing in different facilities located in 8 countries. In 2018, the company decided to implement an efficiency program and optimize the production network to enhance the company profitability. Within this efficiency project, the company decided to relocate the production of energy-efficient roof coating from a small production unit in Denmark to Finland. The relocation will determine the closure of the Danish unit, and the lost of around 20 job positions.
